    A friend and I are just starting out, he has the Ariadna starter box and hasn't had much chance to get a handle on lists.

    I've written him the following list, based on what he has and what he likes the look of, so we can play a 150 pt game. I don't want him discouraged by brutal losses so I wanted to ask if this has any major holes?

    Welcome to the fray!

    The list looks rather good to me. Decent firepower and a decent amount of specialists.

    I would take the Minelayer Chasseur in place of FO Chasseur, so your friend can place a mine and play a little mind game with you. (He will do it a lot if he setlles to play Vanilla Ariadna.) Points costs are the same and the 0.5 SWC is within the 3 SWC limitation for 150 points.
    In case you play more button pushing taking the FO Chasseur makes sense.
    Highlander Grey could be the odd man out. He just doesn't bring muh to the table. Unfortunately I do not know what other troopers you have at hand.
    For the same points cost you can take for example Brigadier Bruant (1 SWC cost is affordable in case you do not take the Minelayer Chasseur in place of FO Chasseur) or a T2 Cateran. If you do not have the model, you can proxy any of them, I presume.
    Alternatively you can take a secound Chasseur and one more Line Kazak acting as a decoy Lt.
    Or you can field 4 Chain Rifle Galwegians and exploit the smoke screen they lay down and their close combat capabilities.

    These are but ideas that came to my mind in a couple secounds, but the list you made is fairly well as it is now, so do not hesitate and start playing! Everything will come easily after you have a couple games under your belt!

    Thanks, i have a half dozen infantry he can use to proxy, plus he has the elite Kazakh that wasn't on that list. I don't even know my own army yet we just need a list to get started experimenting.

    I would suggest replacing Wallace by a Veteran Kazak (T2 X visor if you don't push button, FO if you do). It will give him a taste of HI and sixth sence will allow him to ARO even if shoot in the back (positionning mistake are easy to do when beginning).

    I would also suggest replacing the 2 non-lieutenant line kazak by non-specialist line kazak. The lone non-specialist line kazak is a very obvious lieutenant. Understanding the risk of obvious lieutenant is something very important.

    Cool, thanks. I put wallace in cos he likes the model, but that does look better to start with.

    Actually the Highlander Grey can be a Lt with the same loadout.
